I have been making bags, rugs, wraps, stoles and tapestries etc on this old upright 2 shaft Harris rugloom and having great fun with it. I went to collect it from the Leeds area last year and its definately a vast improvement from the old bed frame loom. Also came across a lucky find of many cones of rug wool to incorporate with my own handspun.

Antique Dutch Flax Wheel
My antique Dutch flax wheel was brought over from Holland and sold here in the U.K in an antiques market. It has an integral wool winder and a distaff with blocks of peat/solid moss to hold the fibre. Little bone or ivory finials. It is working but a little tricky. 18 inch wheel, smells like a church interior.
